Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) A cover letter is a persuasive message that sells your rsum to the employer, so it plays a critical role in your employment communication. It typically includes a standard set of information, including the job you are applying for. But it should be tailored to demonstrate how you are qualified for this specific position.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) It may seem obvious not to lie on your rsum, but potential employers can perceive even slight exaggerations of your accomplishments as lies. Even if you make it through the screening process and have proven yourself as a valuable employee, lying on your rsum can cut your career short.
